After 21 years as a Rockstar Games big cheese, Dan Houser will leave the company in March. He's co-written almost every Rockstar game since 1999, including Grand Theft Auto from London through to V, Bully, Max Payne 3, and the Red Dead Redemptions. That's made him a big influence on the tone of Rockstar's games. I wonder how that might change once he's moved on.…

Mexico has been hiding in Red Dead Redemption 2 all this time
Red Dead Redemption 2 is allegedly an action game about a gun-slingin' guy named Arthur Morgan but to many of us it's become an Old West simulator where we can live the simple life hunting game and looking at trees unbothered by society. Exploration is king in RDR2 but the one place we can't explore is a place we took for granted in the previous…

Red Dead Redemption 2 existence on PC possibly leaked via LinkedIn
Tradition dictates that Rockstar may not discuss the PC version of any of its games, or even admit that they exist, until we’ve all given up any hope of seeing them. So while Red Dead Redemption 2 was unveiled for consoles a while back, there’s been no news for PC. With Rockstar keeping schtum, there was only one hope: LinkedIn. The Keeper of CVs. The…

Howdy, etc. A new trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 [official site] has been revealed by Rockstar games, showing off a little more of the wild west and introducing protagohero Arthur Morgan. We're not allowed to get excited about this, because it hasn't been officially announced for the PC yet. But my gizzards are telling me you want to know anyway, just in case those…
We still don't know for sure whether open world western Red Dead Redemption 2 [official site] is coming to PC at all. But one thing we do know for sure is that it’s coming out for consoles this autu-- what? Oh. Oh, I see. Red Dead Redemption 2 will be coming out for consoles in spring 2018, says Rockstar, embracing the delay into next year…
Feature: Words read: 2 / 1921
Previously in this column, somehow not taken up by the industry as of yet, I suggested that the word 'quest' was being somewhat damaged of late by the fact that it can be anything from 'Kill the Great Red Dragon' to 'bring me some orange juice.' I advocated a system where instead, tasks were split between two basic categories - what used to justifiably be…
Red Dead Redemption [official site] is coming ot PC! Sort of. Rockstar's cowboy adventure is considered by many to be their finest work, but it's also their only game not to mosey into our town after its console release. Now that's changing thanks to the game's arrival on the PlayStation Now game streaming service on December 6th.
As expected, Rockstar have strapped on their shooting iron and saddled up to announce Red Dead Redemption 2 [official site]. 2010's Red Dead Redemption, an open-world cowboy 'em up in the modern Grand Theft Auto style, is perhaps my favourite Rockstar game so this is splendid news. In a disappointing but unsurprising turn, no, Rockstar haven't said anything about a PC version yet; only console…
For PC folks, Red Dead Redemption is the lost Rockstar game. It's also the Rockstar game that people seem to love the most and that can seem like a case of absence making the heart grow fonder, given that it is sequel-less and unavailable on our platform of choice. All of that may be coming to an end. Rumours of a remaster or sequel have…

I should warn you: Ian Video Games is wearing a cowboy hat. Worse: he's saying things like "ah fair reckon". Someone's filled his head with dreams of Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption [official site] and ah fair reckon it's you, The Internet. As ever with our Ian, some of what he's spouting is tripe. No, Ian, no one has found a poster revealing a new Red…

Answering the questions "But why no plans for Red Dead Redemption?" and “Has Rockstar abandoned the PC platform?”, Rockstar had this to say: "We hope that with the announcement that L.A. Noire is coming to PC this fall, and the knowledge that our next big game Max Payne 3 will have a PC release (plus that we’ve released both Grand Theft Auto IV and the…
